No one wants to answer my questions?
I've red throughly your post and, in my opinion, your own answers to your questions are right. Matt Sealey, as Genesi's developer relations manager, is the most accurate source of information about bPlan hardware, aside from bPlan themselves. Actually, the most accurate information should come from Gerald Carda and Thomas Knaebel, but I don't think they can be reached easily.
Further down the hypothesis, perhaps they could say that the firmware is to blame, but that would be dead end too. Statistics say that hypothesis coming from me are right in 10% occasions (and that's optimistic!).
As far as I know, there's no more new Efika boards being made, so it's just another case of taking the product as it is, it's finished that way.

there exists a clip of a salesman, or engineer at a computer show who is showing the EFIKA board. IIRC he points out the solder pads at the bottom of the EFIKA board and remarks about the ability to install additional RAM.
Indeed, that video exists, we've all seen it. But there's no clear transcription of what is said and, most of all, it wouldn't be contractual at all. But I understand you: It's not surprising that a buyer believes that the Efika's memory is expandable, while in practical, it's not. The video can be misleading about this subject.
It's like the Pegasos own history: It has a CPU slot, with all the technical challenges it brings.it was marketed as a CPU interchangeable computer, but nobody has used a different CPU card in the same motherboard.
I guess that, by now, you mighr think that there's been enough talk about this subject already.
